I decided that since this is the time of the year that my So and I don't have dates.....you know, harvest, cattle sales, harvest, more cattle sales, and getting cattle ready for the North American....ok enough of my ranting. Anyhow, I decided to set up a date.....my hot glue gun and some indian corn!!
I am fortunate to have a dear childhood friend that tried a new venture......she raised indian corn, gourds and pumpkins. She's started a little business and is selling them. She asked me if I wanted any indian corn and I jumped at the chance.
A few weeks ago, I saw this adorable picture of an indian corn wreath. I fell in love with it but wasn't sure where I would get all the corn. And then Liz told me about her venture.
I knew it was love at first sight.
This wreath was so easy to make but the most important thing to remember is.......get 4 inch ears of corn or smaller. If your ears are any larger than that, they won't stay on the wreath.
Buy a 12 inch straw wreath at a craft store and a hot glue gun and glue sticks, if you don't have one. Set aside about 8 to 10 sticks of glue. Sort your ears of corn out.....trying to alternate each color.
Set the wreath on some straw paper and your glue gun on wax paper.
Glue a few ears of corn at a time and let them dry. It will take some patience and time to get the ears to stay on the wreath.
Use any larger, colorful fall ribbon and tie a 6 to 8 inch loop to hang the wreath.
As you can see, the indian corn and hot glue gun had a great date! The wreath looks awesome.....love all the colors!
Liz now has a new wreath to hang on her door and advertise her indian corn. And I was successful at my first match making! Next year, we are going into partnership to make more wreaths but hoping for smaller ears of corn!
Happy Fall!
You are so creative. This looks great!
